Entirely correct analysis. > Or is the idea to do something absolutely exclusive for gurus? Some people seem to like that idea. But a rgcp on the ng hierarchy will be relatively open access. If it's moderated by screening each post, then it will be very slow (not to my taste); but being slow has the advantage of keeping the nutters away, since they like fast feedback and manic thread maintenance. If it's moderated by controlling user access (unacceptable posts get you banned), then it will, as CCC has shown, be mainly crap-free, with occasional failures. >Well, is that is the case, is legitimate, though somewhat disgusting for >us, non-guru entities. Yes, I agree. But the problem is that the great, open, democratic experiment in the world talking to itself has failed. Its just about fine when good-will experts or just an interested community is talking (but even the we haev personality clashes etc); but it fails because it is also open house to any lunatic, bore, axe-grinder, lonely stalker or whatever who cares to join in the fun. This latter collection wreck open access groups (as we know). Chris Whittington
